Yes, you need to pay a deposit for European travel. European travel common sense 1. Preparation before departure 1) Please be sure to bring your passport, ID card, air tickets, personal travel supplies, and gather on time at the designated location.

2) Prepare clothes according to seasonal changes.

The average temperature in Europe is 0-5 degrees Celsius in winter and 20-26 degrees Celsius in summer.

The temperature at night is about 8-10 degrees lower than during the day.

The attire should be light and comfortable. Except for the formal dress code required by European casinos, there are no special requirements for other occasions.

Due to environmental awareness, European hotels often do not have disposable items such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, and slippers, and tourists should bring their own.

3) At present, the RMB is still not usable in Europe, and there are few places where Hong Kong dollars can be exchanged, so you must bring US dollars with you when you go to Europe. Try to prepare as many small-denomination US dollar bills as possible, such as 1 yuan, 5 yuan, 10 yuan, 20 yuan, etc. for convenience.

use.

According to my country's Foreign Exchange Carrying Permit, citizens traveling abroad are allowed to carry a foreign exchange amount equivalent to two thousand U.S. dollars per person.

4) Since buying medicines in European pharmacies requires a doctor’s prescription, and medical expenses are expensive, you should bring commonly used medicines with you in case of emergency.

5) It is recommended that you use a suitcase with wheels to make it easier to check in and carry with you on the aircraft.

6) If you want to bring 139, 138, 137, 136, or 135 mobile phones, please go to the local telecommunications bureau to go through the procedures for activating the international function before departure.

2. Safety is the most important issue. Thieves are everywhere in Europe, and robberies are also common. Therefore, passports/tickets/money and valuables must be carried close to your body. It is best to carry your shoulder bag cross-body to prevent gangsters from behind on motorcycles.

The most dangerous cities are mainly Paris/Milan/Rome. If items are lost in hotels or tour buses, tourists will be responsible for them. Hotel lobbies and restaurants are frequented by thieves. Although Europeans rarely run red lights, they do not cross the road.

It’s better to be careful.

3. European laws are different from those in China. Drivers must have 9 consecutive hours of rest, and driving time must not exceed 9 hours a day. Therefore, drivers who are asked to work extra overtime at night may be refused.

Smoking is prohibited in the tour vehicle at any time, and food with peels, ice cream, etc. are not allowed. Due to environmental reasons, the driver is not allowed to turn on the air conditioner when parking, otherwise he will be fined.

When you take a shower in a hotel, be sure not to get water on the floor. Otherwise, the hotel may fine you $500.

4. Passport Checking and Shopping Tax Refund European countries generally do not need to check passports. There is almost no border between countries, but passports must be checked when entering and leaving Europe.

Shopping tax refund is a policy in Europe. Some stores refund tax on the spot, while others require tax refund at the airport of the last stop country.

The tour leader will explain to you and help you. You must follow the tour leader’s advice when shopping, otherwise you will suffer losses if you cannot get a tax refund.

5. Dining When traveling in Europe, breakfast is generally continental-style Western food in hotels, sometimes very simple (just two pieces of bread, a glass of juice or milk). Westerners are extremely disgusted with wasting food, so lunch and dinner are usually Chinese food.

6. Do not leave the group alone when changing phone calls or changing lines. Be sure to know the hotel address, phone number, leader’s room number, travel license plate number, etc., so that you can find the group in case you get lost.

You'd better buy a magnetic phone card, because phone calls in hotels are very expensive, and local calls also have to be paid. Generally, you have to dial 0 to call an outside line, 0086 to call China, and 00186 in Hong Kong.

In short, it is best to ask the team leader in advance.

Phone cards vary from place to place, but German and Dutch cards are universal.

You can buy a phone card at gas stations, small shops, cigarette shops, and newsstands.

When you exchange local currency in the United States, please note that a 10% handling fee may be charged, but the hotel does not charge a handling fee.

There is also a handling fee of HKD 50 when exchanging money in a Hong Kong bank.

Any foreign currency you may not use up can be exchanged for U.S. dollars or Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong.

7. In terms of shopping, you can buy diamonds, clogs, chocolates, sheepskins, small windmills, etc. in the Netherlands.

You can buy perfume, leather shoes, fashion, leather bags and other specialty products in France.

You can buy Manneken Pis statues and more in Belgium.

You can buy double brand knives, cuckoo clocks, antique toy guns, etc. in Germany.

8. Optional items: 1) Moulin Rouge cabaret in Paris (about 120 USD/person), boat trip on the Seine River (about 20 USD/person), Rhine River (about 20 USD/person), etc.

2) There are usually closed-circuit television programs in hotels, but you have to pay for them, so don't touch any buttons with "PAY" or "P" on the TV remote control.

Be careful that the drinks in the refrigerator are not free.

Before leaving the hotel, be sure to check if there are any forgotten items. The room key must be returned to the front desk. If you ask the bellman to help you carry your luggage at the hotel, you usually have to pay a tip of 1-2 US dollars.

3) You also have to pay to use the restroom in Europe, which is equivalent to about RMB 4.

Coke, cigarettes, film, etc. are expensive in China.

Long focal length cameras and video cameras must be declared when leaving China Customs to avoid paying taxes on return.

9. Things to note: 1) Spitting, smoking, and littering are absolutely not allowed. Do not speak loudly in public places. You are not allowed to wear sports shoes, jeans, crew-neck shirts, etc. when going to the casino.
